If you decide to buy equipment at a low price, make sure that you communicate with the real seller. Find out as much information about the owner of the equipment as possible. One way of cheating is to represent yourself as a real company. In case of suspicion, inform us about this for additional control, through the feedback form.
Before you decide to make a purchase, carefully review several sales offers to understand the average cost of your chosen equipment. If the price of the offer you like is much lower than similar offers, think about it. A significant price difference may indicate hidden defects or an attempt by the seller to commit fraudulent acts.
Do not buy products which price is too different from the average price for similar equipment.
Do not give consent to dubious pledges and prepaid goods. In case of doubt, do not be afraid to clarify details, ask for additional photographs and documents for equipment, check the authenticity of documents, ask questions.
The most common type of fraud. Unfair sellers may request a certain amount of advance payment to “book” your right to purchase equipment. Thus, fraudsters can collect a large amount and disappear, no longer get in touch.
- Transfer of prepayment to the card
- Do not make an advance payment without paperwork confirming the process of transferring money, if during the communication the seller is in doubt.
- Transfer to the “Trustee” account
- Such a request should be alarming, most likely you are communicating with a fraudster.
- Transfer to a company account with a similar name
- Be careful, fraudsters may disguise themselves as well-known companies, making minor changes to the name. Do not transfer funds if the company name is in doubt.
- Substitution of own details in the invoice of a real company
- Before making a transfer, make sure that the specified details are correct, and whether they relate to the specified company.

3. Critical Installation Requirements
Swing Motor Housing Priming (Mandatory)
Before starting the engine or engaging the swing control, pre-fill the swing motor casing with clean, fresh hydraulic fluid through its highest case drain port. Running an axial piston motor dry—even for a few seconds—will score the swash plate and piston slippers, causing immediate total loss of pressure.
Verify Case Drain Line Backpressure
Inspect the low-pressure case drain hose returning to the main hydraulic oil reservoir. Ensure there are no sharp bends, kinks, or restrictions. High case drain backpressure will blow out the main shaft seal and contaminate the internal reduction gear section.
Air Bleeding & Initial Startup Procedure
After mounting and pre-filling the housing, loosen the top air bleed port on the motor manifold. Crank the engine with fuel delivery disabled until clear, bubble-free hydraulic oil flows out, then retighten the plug. Allow the machine to idle under no load for 10 to 15 minutes to purge remaining air.
Hydraulic System Decontamination
If replacing a motor that suffered internal mechanical failure, drain and flush the main hydraulic reservoir, clean oil cooler lines, and replace all return and suction filter elements before running the machine under load.
4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is Caterpillar part number 436-6859 directly compatible across these 1.5–2.0 ton mini excavators?
A: Yes. Part number 436-6859 cross-references directly to the Danfoss swing motor platform utilized across CAT 301.7D CR, Wacker Neuson EZ17, and John Deere E18ZS models. Physical mounting dimensions, port thread patterns, and output gear profiles match factory specifications.
Q: My CAT 301.7D CR over-swings or drifts when parked on a slope. Is the swing motor at fault?
A: Upper-structure drift or uncontrolled rotation usually indicates worn internal friction brake discs, leaking crossover shock relief valves, or scored cylinder surfaces inside the motor block. Replacing the motor assembly restores exact position holding and swing stopping control.
Q: Does this unit arrive complete with the control valve manifold installed?
A: Yes. The unit comes fully assembled as a single complete drop-in unit, pre-fitted with the axial piston motor section, integrated planetary reduction gear stage, and pre-calibrated brake/relief valve manifold block.
